Dual Diagnosis
The Dual Diagnosis Center is designed to treat chemical dependency and psychiatric illness simultaneously on an outpatient basis. This program gives patients the opportunity to receive intensive, structured treatment during the day and return home in the evening. Patients participate five days a week in a therapeutic setting where they receive education, group and individual counseling. To remain in this program, patients must be abstinent from drugs and alcohol, and are given tools to help them maintain their sobriety. Patients must also be medically stable before admission, and have a willingness to work the program with outside support systems.
Treatment Team
We believe a team approach is the most effective method to deliver quality
care. The treatment team is led by a Board certified MD/Addictionologist and
is made up of Certified Alcohol and Drug counselors. Each patient's needs
are assessed prior to starting treatment in order to assure proper placement
and address all recovery concerns. The treatment team offers not only their
clinical expertise and experience, but also their concern and compassion.
